Library 2.0 Panel 4, Part 2: Digitizing Collections

Library 2.0 Panel 4, Part 2: Digitizing Collections

The Yale Information Society Project (ISP) hosted the Library 2.0 Symposium on Saturday, April 4, 2009, at Yale Law School. The symposium was especially timely as the confluence of book digitization projects, user-generated content, and social networking applications forces us to rethink the role of libraries. Among the topics that were considered: What counts as a library in the 21st century? And how do digital collections and web 2.0 applications create new challenges to copyright, fair use, and civil liberties online?
Library 2.0 Panel 4, Part 2 includes presentations from panelists Frank Pasquale, Visiting Professor of Law, Yale Law School, and Brewster Kahle, Digital librarian and co-founder of the Internet Archive.
